I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 195
[space movement scroll]
“Are there many tools like this in the Holy Land?”
“It is very rare, but it can be used for special missions like now. Come on, follow me. His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you.”
“… … .”
Leon followed Galeus without a word. Because he knows it's no use resisting. And he couldn't deny that he was interested in the Holy Kingdom.
'Why did they call me?'
Through the ornate corridors, they arrived at a huge room. It is the place where the three popes used to gather and receive oracles.
"Oh oh!"
“Meet the rookie. welcome."
Two old men in fancy robes greeted Leon with tears streaming down his face. I don't even need to explain who they are.
"school… We see His Holiness the Pope.”
Leon greeted politely and was quite taken aback. Such a warm welcome after kidnapping?
and after a while
“Good work Lord Galeus. If it hadn't been for your quick response, something big would have happened.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“… … .”
A total of four people were seated at the table. Among them, Pope Odin, a thin and sharp-looking old man, opened his mouth.
“Rookies must have a lot of questions.”
“I heard it was an oracle. Can you tell me why you called me?”
Leon cautiously opened his mouth. It was nice that they were welcoming, but something was amiss.
“Haha, I heard from Sir Galeus that there was a conflict in the process of coming here. I am sorry to have surprised you.”
Pope Mars, with a sturdy build, burst into a hearty laugh and apologized to Leon. Pope Odin also smiled.
“You shouldn't be too surprised. We were brought to the Holy Land to help newcomers.”
“Are you helping me?”
"That's right. I'm sorry... ”
Pope Odin continued to speak while glancing at Leon.
“I heard that the current newcomer is far from succeeding to the throne. Are the facts we have confirmed correct?”
“… … .”
Leon looked at the popes with a suspicious expression.
'Can you help me?'
“It’s just like what the rookie thinks!”
Pope Mars sighed, clenching his fists.
“The new person is the one who was born to become the master of the continent! But the wrong person took over. It can't be!”
“The owner of the continent?”
Leon stared at Pope Mars with a serious expression. Speaking of the owner of this continent, of course, isn't he the emperor of the Sharnos Empire?
'And what is it that has usurped the position?'
There was only one person in competition with him. The face of Julius passed through Leon's mind.
“Do you and Seongguk have any grudges?”
“It's not like a grudge. I would have told you it was a mistake.”
Unlike Pope Mars, Galeus answered with a calm expression.
“A mistake, I don’t know what you mean.”
“It's a simple fact.”
Pope Odin explained.
“Now the name of the crown prince of the empire is… Maybe he said to Highness Julius? He is a fake created by evil spirits. Seongguk was also completely deceived.”
'Tricked me? evil god?'
Leon was confused as he continued to speak incomprehensible words. But either way, the popes continued.
“A true newcomer from a great man! That's what it says. To lead the continent in the right direction. We brought newcomers here.”
“… … !?”
What the Popes were saying was clear.
thud!
Recognizing this, something heavy falls into Leon's chest. He opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
"Are you saying you're going to attack the empire and put me on the throne?"
“It is.”
The Popes declared in a solemn voice.
“The temple has already begun.”
* * *
At the same time, the Imperial Palace of the Empire.
The inside of Daejeon was filled with subtle anger.
“What kind of rudeness is this?”
The Emperor's hands were shaking. Originally, he was holding a letter in his hand, but it was already crumpled mercilessly. A summary of its contents is as follows.
[Execute the crown prince of the current empire who was instigated by the evil spirit and place the second prince on the throne.]
“Is Seongguk interfering in internal affairs? dare!"
The emperor exuded a terrifying dignity and glared at the old man beneath the Great Hall.
"haha… It was so sudden that we expected His Majesty to be surprised.”
An old man with a warm look. Pope Medit came here today to have an audience with the emperor. However, upon hearing such an absurd request on the spot, the emperor became furious.
“Are you telling me to execute my eldest son and appoint the second? And for such an absurd reason?”
At first, I thought the emperor was also joking. However, as I continued to talk, I found that they were talking crazy things in the utmost seriousness.
“Go away! My job will definitely be held accountable to the Holy Kingdom!”
“… … .”
However, the priests, including Pope Medit, remained unconcerned with the emperor's errands.
“I’m sorry.”
“… … !?”
"your majesty! Knights of the Holy Kingdom!”
“Ah!”
Kwak!
At that moment, the gate of Daejeon was broken and knights wearing white armor poured in. Their identities are Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom.
"your majesty!"
“Please step back!”
Dozens of royal knights, feeling the crisis on the side of the empire, surrounded the emperor layer by layer. Marquis Carlos, commander of the Royal Guards, quickly built a formation.
“Get rid of the intruders!”
"haha… How can this... … .”
The emperor was now stunned and stared at the figures of the Holy Kingdom with an expression of absurdity. The Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom were known to be quite elite, but they were nothing compared to the Empire's Royal Knights.
Moreover, there were countless knights besides the Guard Knights in this imperial palace. It is certain that they will be overpowered by the imperial knights if they try.
'What on earth do they believe in doing this?'
The inside of Daejeon soon became a mess with the sound of weapons clashing and people screaming.
Chae Chaeng!
“Ah!”
"this!"
Of course, the prediction went to the Empire's advantage without any doubt. First of all, the performance of the superhuman Marquis Carlos was absolute.
coo kung!
“Cuck!”
Every time the Marquis of Kalos swings his sword. The invisible solid wall rushed at the Paladins at terrifying speed. It was famous for its defense, but it could also be used for offense.
'It's about half left. It's a relief that His Majesty doesn't have any problems.'
The Marquis was counting the number of enemies while swinging his extended sword.
Paladins fought valiantly, but the number of people standing was also reduced to less than half. The knights of the Royal Guard also suffered small and large injuries, but they were not severe.
However, while observing the war situation, the Marquis noticed something strange.
'Are the priests too unconcerned? In addition, the Paladins did not lose momentum at all.'
The priests, including Pope Medit, were not at all embarrassed. You know there's no chance of winning there, but the paladins are still fighting well without losing morale.
On the surface, it seemed to be an overwhelming advantage, but something was suspicious.
'They may have thoughts too. It will never end like this.'
The marquis' ominous premonition came true. As the paladins continued to fall, the priests finally began to move. They lifted their hands up centering on the pope and shouted with solemn expressions.
“I hope for the grace of the Great One! Give them the power of resurrection!”
“… … !?”
Fire!
A pillar of light rose around them. The pillar penetrated the Great Hall and soared up to the roof of the Imperial Palace, dyeing the entire Imperial Palace pure white.
And the moment the Paladins touched the light!
"Oh oh!"
“My wounds!”
The wounds of the Paladins who fell to the ground and groaned were completely healed. Even those who died instantly from blown heads or fatal injuries jumped up like a lie.
“Waaaaa!!!”
The fully recovered Paladins jumped at the Royal Knights several times more courageous than before.
“What is this… … .”
The emperor and the royal knights were suddenly at a loss for words. It was unheard of for priests to have this ability. But there was no time to think.
“Evacuate Your Majesty! It's dangerous at this rate!"
The Marquis of Kalos hurriedly shouted and faced the siege of the Paladins with a stiff face. However, no matter how much he knocked him down, there was no way he could hold back those who rise again for long.
"Heh heh, how could this happen... … .”
The emperor had no choice but to look at the guardsmen who were falling down one by one with a dejected face. Perhaps the same thing was happening everywhere in the imperial palace right now. In his mind, the face of the son he hadn't seen before passed by.
'Jurius, what the hell happened to you?'
* * *
A piece of gold was drawn in the empty space. And the gap opens, and a soft blue light comes out.
Dig!
and the next moment. Julius stood in front of the White Palace. He muttered with a curious face.
“You really jumped out of space. This is the true secret instrument of the great emperor.”
Just like when he came from Tianshan to Luoyang, he moved a long distance at once with the sword of the great emperor. According to the explanation of the great emperor, this was his 6th stage secret skill.
His 5th step is to cut objects by blocking spaces! He developed that ability further and reached the stage of moving by attaching distances between spaces.
'Anyway, there was something to check in the Holy Land, right?'
cooong!
Julius opened the door to the White Palace. But then a cry was heard from inside the palace.
“An intruder has entered the inner palace!”
“The Pope said not to let anyone in?”
“You must catch it!”
“Eck! Was there some device on the door?”
Julius quickly jumped into the aisle. It was nice that he was moved into the palace, but he doesn't seem to be very welcome. But what he had to do here was clear.
'Leon, I'll have to find him. It must have been brought here.'
Julius's body shot through the passage at the speed of a beam of light.
* * *
News of the intruder soon reached the inner chambers of the popes.
"intruder?"
“I will block it.”
Galeus, who is usually in charge of escorting the Popes, quickly ran out.
“Kuhm… … .”
Pope Mars, who watched the scene, opened his mouth with a spleen expression.
“It seems that the hand of the evil spirit has already reached this place. We are running out of time, so we have to start the ritual right away!”
“I agree too. The best result would be for the rookie to agree, but I can't help it.”
Pope Odin also nodded with a determined expression.
